I have just entered the discussion area. This is my first experience with a list and for the first time since I began on the internet 6 years ago -- since joining this list yesterday -- I am opening personally offensive emails that come straight to my inbox because I invited them unknowingly.
You guys are writing about stuff I wouldn't waste a minute talking to someone about. Isn't there a breast feeding or repressed sexuality list you could join? I repeat, go European guy (or gal)!
I joined this list because I thought it was about museums, culture, education, history, conservation of greatness and international tolerance.
